About our corporate fish and chip catering in Steep
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and friday lunch treats.
For farms and rural sites near Steep, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Hot food handed straight over
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime staff treats in Steep are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
